When it comes to protecting your identity, in our opinion, there’s one company that’s the best at it. Identity Guard® offers a 30-day free trial, which provide users a credit report and score* based on data from all three major credit bureaus while helping to protect your wallet at the same time.

And if you’re worried about protecting you and your family from identity theft, you really need credit monitoring too. After all, your credit is a major part of the identity you should be trying to protect. And the best way to do that is to be aware of what’s happening with your credit at all times.

Signing up for the Identity Guard 30-day free trial is simple and only requires the usual personal information like name, contact info and social security number (in order to pull your credit report). Once you’ve completed the basics, you’ll be asked a series of questions that confirm your identity. Get any of these questions wrong and you’ll be asked a few more. Get those wrong and you won’t be able to try again for 72 hours. (makes sense right?)

I’ve never heard of ProtectMyID before, however after some quick research online, they seem to be an up and comer in the Identity Theft Protection world. I decided to give them a once over and sign-up for their 30-day ID Protection free trial but I also had to sign-up for a $1 credit report in the process. An inconvenience but a small price to pay for a full 30-day free trial.

Signing up is as simple as the rest I suppose. You enter your personal information, credit card information, then answer a couple of questions about your identity. As long as everything checks out, you’re through to the dashboard however if you’ve mistyped anything, you may be asked to call in and answer a few more questions.
